MAMMOTH YELLOW •"^^Q pc/^i a I TV I 



PRIZETAKER. Bermuda r^CV^ l>-M- 1 



cannot raise any finer Onion than the Mammoth Yellow 

 Prizetaker, which is recognized everywhere as one of 

 the best varieties. Although it was introduced only 

 about a dozen years ago, it is planted from Maine to 

 Oregon and from Minnesota to Florida, giving satis- 

 faction everywhere, whether grown for home use or for 

 market. This Onion is large, with light straw-colored skin 

 and thin neck — the same type as the large Spanish 

 Onions imported and sold in the eastern cities. It yields 

 often at the rate of 1,200 to 1,500 bushels per acre, and is 

 one of the most profitable crops that can be grown. 

 They attain immense size, often reaching 15 inches in 

 circumference when good care is given, and the exhi- 

 bition bulbs have weighed five pounds. They ripen hard 

 and are most attractive, with flesh a clear sparkling 

 white. Prizetaker is grown easily under ordinary con- 

 ditions. When sown in the open ground, it grows larger 

 than the ordinary globe Onion. To get best results, sow 

 the seeds early in hotbeds or in a sheltered spot and 

 transplant, so they may have a long season. The seed 

 I offer is from an especially selected strain, grown in 

 America, and more satisfactory than imported stock.

From three pounds of your Mammoth Yellow Prizetaker seed 1 

 raised and sold 138 baskets of large Onions, 46 baskets of picklers, 

 and s bushels of sets. — M. D. Bond, TuUytown, Pa.,Oct.3i, 1912.

 Onion. Produces those little white ^^%}^ KJvCl-l 1 \ 

 Onions that Americans have been importing for years. It is truly 

 a little marvel. The bulbs grow wholly under the ground and 

 maintain their silvery whiteness better than any other small, 

 pickling Onion that has ever been introduced. They are the 

 earliest and smallest Onion ever offered. They are delicious, too, 

 for early use when green. Pkt. 10 cts., oz. 35 cts., Mlb. Si, lb. S3. 50.

CHOICE PHILADELPHIA-GROWN 

 ONION SETS 



Philadelphia Onion sets have the reputation of being the best in 

 the world. As grown here they are hard, solid and good keepers. For 

 the small garden and extra-early bunch Onions in market gardens, 

 sets give quicker results than seed. Prices vary with the market — 

 probably this year from S3 to S4 per bushel. Write for prices on 

 bushel and barrel lots. 



Red, Yellow or White Sets. Qt. 30 cts., postpaid. 



WHITE MULTIPLIER SETS. Each bulb multiplies from the 



roots, producing a large cluster of small Onions of fine quality. 



They never grow large, and will provide quantities of pickling 



Onions or extra-early green Onions for the table. Qt. 35 cts., 



postpaid. 



POTATO ONION SETS. The smaller Potato Onion sets make fine 

 green Onions, and the larger produce clusters of small bulbs, 

 mild, white and fine for eating green. Qt. 35 cts., postpaid. 



BERKS COUNTY BOTTLE ONION SETS. Bad weather makes 

 it impossible to get a stock of good seed of this variety, so I can 

 offer only sets. This Onion is long and narrow, being, when ripened, 

 just the shape and about the size of a sarsaparilla bottle. The 

 skin is light yellow and the flesh white and delicate beyond com- 

 parison. Qt. 35 cts., postpaid.
